The rule of thumb I've heard for alcohol is "one alcoholic drink per hour," which intuitively makes more sense than the caffeine rule, since it implies that your body processes alcohol at a constant rate. I don't really understand why the rate at which your body processes caffeine would depend on the amount that you drank. Does this mean that the body processes caffeine faster if you drink more of it?
